Mardaani 2 review :
He's a serial rapist cum killer...a psycho so godamn demented, the guy was responsible for killing his own mom. Egad! Frequently breaking the fourth wall to provide us insights on his devious mind, the villain of Mardaani 2 - a small time juvenile fiend - appears to give tough competition to even Batman's Joker. And this is the films biggest fallacy.
C'mon guys, do u expect us to believe a kadka lukha teenage guy can break in to a top cop's home, threaten a minister of the state and actually go to the extent of kidnapping and tormenting his relative. Nah! It's too unbelievable to be true.
Precisely, the villain of Mardaani 2 ends up being that. A super villain who can be possibly vanquished by an Avenger!! Only here we have top cop Shivani Shivaji Roy (Rani Mukerjee, impressive) on his trail.
Fighting misogyny within her department and finding enough time to appear on prime time television to offer a sermon on women empowerment, Shivani gets cracking on the seemingly impossible case. Will she crack it on her own?
Written and directed by Gopi Puthran, the film is admittedly relevant today where we have so many rape cases in the news. Nirbhaya's juvenile killer was let off mildly and given some social benefits as per the archaic Indian law. Bah!
Of the cast, Vishal Jethwa is outstanding as the menacing rapist who can go to any length to satisfy his ego and sexual urge. A super debut, no doubt!
At little less than two hours of run time, Mardaani 2 is worth a watch for primarily two reasons. One for tackling the sensitive subject of rape and secondly, for bettering the first part. I suspect this franchise is here to stay!!
